#NewPipe 0.27.2 is out now!

This version fixes the recent issues with YouTube and Bandcamp. Support for on.soundcloud.com URLs was also added.

The new version is available through our #FDroid repo (newpipe.net/FAQ/tutorials/inst…) and should be shipped with F-Droid's main repo in the next days. The in-app updater should offer the update within one hour.

Falls jemand diesen Beitrag eines seit seiner #covid Infektion schwer an #mecfs erkrankten Journalisten (Tim Braune) von vor einigen Wochen nicht mitbekommen hat, ich finde dass auch sein Beitrag zu dem Thema sehr deutlich und wichtig ist:

For August, it’s time for our biggest monthly emote update yet, a week early!

Normally our monthly updates add 500-1,000 new emotes, but I got bored and added 11,419 new emotes. This more than doubles the emote count on this instance, mostly thanks to the Mutant Standard emote pack with 8,294 emotes (almost as many emotes as what we had in July!)

We now have 160 emote packs in all (141 packs excluding those with under 10 emotes). Our total emote count is 19,688 emotes, excluding six legacy name conflicts from years ago (11,394 emotes excluding Mutant Standard).

Expanded packs:

  • Added 28 spinny emotes :spinny_mouse:
  • Added 5 drgn emotes :drgn_sneaky:
  • Added 2 neofox emotes :neofox_flag_disabled:
  • Added 2 shitty logos :ffmpreg_horizontal:
  • Added 2 gayspers from pridemoji/emoji.lgbt :Gaysper_Androgyne:
  • Added 1205 emotes to yinglets by including ying variants (myno, thio, yinglemon, and yinglime)! :myno_angel:

33 new packs:

  • 8,294 Mutant Standard emotes (excludes ms_robot, in its own “robomoji” pack) :ms_selfie_paw_c1:
  • 25 neobun emotes :neobun_enby:
  • 31 neocube emotes :neocube_nom_neocat:
  • 22 miffy emotes :miffy_sleep:
  • 378 neobot emotes :neobot_woem:
  • 19 CatPride emotes :catPride_bigender:
  • 127 frazzledbynn_pride emotes :bisexuality_octopus_blush:
  • 115 Girls Love emotes :girls2_big_hug:
  • 40 Fox emotes :fox_smug:

  • 8 TweFox emotes :TweFox_cyclops:
  • 31 pixel cats :pixel_cat_harestar_smile:
  • 155 pridemoji (excluding ghosts, which are dupes of the existing gaysper pack; extra ghosts added to Gaysper) :femboy-syringe:
  • 84 tinyfaces :tiny_blep:
  • 81 bluemoji :blueMoji_cant_unsee_this:
  • 104 pixel art emotes :pixel_interrobang: :pixel_studying:
  • 15 pentacles :pentacle_non_binary:
  • 55 shrimp :shrimp_trans:

Fixed packs:

I also rebuilt the original neocat, neofox, and drgn packs without any auto-cropping to make emotes line up better, all at 512x512 pixels (still large enough to look good enlarged in MFM but mostly well under 50kb after lossless compression). Proper alignment means you can do this properly:

:drgn_yoshi_end::drgn_yoshi_mid::drgn_yoshi_start:

I ensured all new emotes have unique descriptive names for searchability and non-visual users (except many color variations of part of the shrimp pack, which have number suffixes because I can’t name that many colors! :shrimp_30:). They’ve been losslessly compressed, stripped of non-color metadata, and downscaled if necessary. I upscaled some 32x32 pixel packs with simple nearest-neighbor upscaling to preserve the pixelation. Credits are in the envs pleroma-custom README.

Wow, this sounds like a really cool library, judging by the demo. But, not cool is that “NKS support is coming”, and by then, the intro price may be no more? thecrowhillcompany.com/concuss…

Despite all my experience, I am sometimes tempted to give certain #software vendors a second chance.

And I was curious to see what the new #AppleMaps could do. Unfortunately, my trial only lasted a few seconds, because neither one of my operating systems nor the browser I use for my daily work are supported.

And so I can say: negative prejudices confirmed, I don't need something like this.
